Suspicious Minds

Please enjoy the thoughts and musings of our friend, supporter, and long-time contributor Art van Bodegraven Jr., who passed away on June 18, 2017. Art was a prolific writer and had amassed a collection of unpublished blog posts he had planned to run well into the future. To honor his memory, we will continue to post these remaining blogs as he had intended. If you’ve been a fan of The Art of Art blog, check out our tribute.

 

To the shock and surprise of absolutely no one, The Ol' Blogmeister has been unveiled as a dancer, an uninvited guest at the masquerade.  By now, you all now that I can't spell without help, and struggle with tense, case, and number in otherwise thoughtful observations.

Basically, and expecting the worst, I pipelined dozens of blog posts, beginning now, and running through the opening of festivities at the beginning of March 2018.  The fly swimming in the soup is the need to change internet service providers, email addresses, and passwords.  The consequence is that each and every blog from then 'til 2 March 2018 is riddled with errors, most of the mis-spelt variety.  

Today marks our return to a more perfect world - and we are ready.  It's good to put on one's work clothes and get one's pen dirty in good causes.

The meaning of our adventure in the supply chain management space is to remember that over-committing is as bad, or worse, than under-committting.  Don't over-invest in what might be; do invest in reasonable precaution on the trip to risk mitigation and management.

Apologies, btw, for sassy, but deficient interim entries.  Please cut me some slack when egregious error diminishes my message.  Thanks for understanding.
